Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
Anxious and Overwhelmed?
Is your anxiety holding you back? Two million people in the UK, are affected with anxiety and/or panic disorders. Stress is cited as the most common work related illness.
Anxiety is a natural response to danger and usually occur when your unconscious mind is trying to protect you from what it perceives as a threatening situation, and also when you are worrying about the future.
Everyday stress is good for you because it motivates you to meet your goals at work or at home. However, if it becomes out of control, it can lead to anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks, high blood pressure, worrying, palpitations, a sense of dread, IBS, insomnia, headaches, general exhaustion, or a general loss of focus. Ongoing anxiety disorders could also affect your sleep, personal life as well as your ability to perform well at work.
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety may help you to get the balance right between working effectively under pressure and managing your stresses. So you begin to feel in a relaxed state and back in control.
Types of Anxiety
Fears and Phobias
Many people have fears. They are often irrational and cause avoidance behaviours in individuals, even though they know their fear is not rooted in reality, phobic individuals can not help but feel that way. Phobias are among the most common afflictions that affect a person's daily life. Common phobias include fear of small spaces, driving, needles. Read more here.
Generalized Anxiety Disorders
With Generalized Anxiety disorder, almost any situation might cause someone to feel anxious or worried, they may not remember feeling relaxed for quite some time. As soon as one bout of anxious thoughts is under control, another takes its place so they become caught in a negative thinking trap.
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety sufferers are focused on what other people will think of them. Thoughts that they are inadequate or not good enough can be very overwhelming, making these individuals feel like they cannot function normally in social situations. Anxiety-induced worries about others perceptions may lead to disastrous effects on confidence levels, self-esteem and can impact professional success if not managed.
Panic Attacks
Generally, panic attacks are a common issue with anxiety disorder. They can leave you feeling like you have no control and produce genuine physical symptoms such as rapid increases in heartbeat or churning stomach sensations. These unpleasant bodily experiences often cause people to worry about experiencing another attack which sets off the cycle of fear all over again.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
OCD can cause sufferers to miss out on opportunities. In extreme cases, it may even be difficult for people with OCD to maintain a job or relationships because they constantly feel the need to complete certain rituals and routines that could take up their whole day.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD is a condition that occurs when someone experiences trauma and then has trouble processing or healing from it. Symptoms of PTSD include re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoiding objects or situations that remind them of their trauma, feelings of aggression towards others or themselves, which disrupts daily activities.
